THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFOm IA, DOES FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That there was filed with the City Planning Commission on October 25, 1956, the application of C. P. Cassady, Inc., as owner, for a zone variance to allow the use as a public parking area of real property in an R-l Zone, located at the rear of 84 West Huntington Drive, in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, described as follows: A portion of Santa Anita Rancho, as shown on map recorded in Book 1, page 97, of Patents, records of Los Angeles County, being that portion of the right of way of the Southern Pacific Railraod (40 feet Wide) shown on map of Tract No. 949, recorded in Book 17, page 13, of Maps, records of said County, described as follows: Beginning at a point in the northwesterly line of said right of way distant South 380331 West 234.06 feet from its intersection with the south line of Huntington Drive (100 feet wide); thence South 380331 West 100 feet; thence South 510271 East 40 feet; thence North 380331 East 100 feet; thence North 510271 West 40 feet to the point of begin- ning. SECTION 2. That applicant proposes to construct an office building on C-2 property to the north of and adjacent to subject property and has applied for the variance in order to prOVide the parking required for the proposed building. That while there were no protests, either oral or written, to the granting of the variance, the construction of a commercial building as planned and the use of subject property fo~ a parking area would create a traffic hazard; , that it would be necessary to widen the street, presently three lanes wide, at least ten feet and to construct a sidewalk of at , least five feet in width. That the required parking could be ob- tained on the present commercial property by reducing the size of -1- INbGXtD 2850 .. - the proposed building. SECTION 3. That while the size and location of subJect property might be considered exceptional or extraordinary circum- stances, such conditions were in existence at the time the owner purChased said property. That no evidence was presented to show that the requested variance was necessary for the preservation and enJoyment of property rights of the applicant possessed by other property owners in the same zone and vicinity. SECTION 4. That the granting of the requested variance would adversely affect the plan for the development of the civic center and the comprehensive general plan for the City of Arcadia; and the increasing traffic problem would be detrimental to the public health and welfare. SECTION 5. That for the foregoing reasons, the applica- tion of C. P. Cassady, Inc., for a zone variance to allow the use of the above described property for a public parking area be and the same is hereby denied. SECTION 6.
